Bob Corker: Now the Auto Union Wants to Muzzle Public Officials

The United Auto Workers demand a do-over for a vote the union lost—and want critics like me silenced.

Picture an election where an entity is given nearly unfettered access to voters for two years and then is allowed to call for a surprise vote with only a few days' notice. Then imagine that the entity loses the vote and complains that "outside forces"—who happen to be community leaders—should not have been allowed to speak or share their point of view. While most Americans can contemplate such a scenario playing out in another country, this is what has been happening in Tennessee.
